โฆ Synopsis
Chiral C2-symmetric DMEU derivatives were designed and synthesized as chiral ligands for lithium. The reaction of the lithium enolate (2) of 1-tetralone (1) with methyl iodide in toluene in the presence of a DMEU derivative (11) and hexamethyldisilazane gave (S)-2-methyl-l-tetralone ((S)-3) in up to 92% ee.

Results are reported on the regioselective C-deuteriation of 2-methyl-tetralone using a series of D-sources and tertiary amines as potential mediators. The results presented further aid the understanding of kinetic deuteriation of both 'base-containing' and 'base-free' enolates.
